Amsterdam’s Honey I’m Home share their latest single, ‘Pretty’.
Honey I’m Home – composed of Thom Schotanus, Sofie Ooteman, Jasper Meurs, Hugo de Groot and Evelien Keesmaat – merge 90s alternative rock with shoegaze, lo-fi indie and emo, pairing fuzzy textures with relatable lyrics.
Vocalist and guitarist Thom Schotanus shares the following about ‘Pretty’:
“‘Pretty’ is about people who have learned to suppress negative emotions by fully focusing on their appearance. The track explores depressive feelings that are hidden behind the search for attention—not because these people are shallow themselves, but because using looks is something that works. After all, people apparently do judge a book by its cover.
The song looks at emptiness and cynicism, and at how being attractive can sometimes become the only thing left of someone’s personality. Eventually, people start to believe in that as a last form of support: “at least I am pretty.”
